The x-ray photoelectron spectra of LnF/sub 3/ (Ln stands for the lanthanides except Pm) have been obtained in the range of electron binding energies from 0 to 1300 eV, and an analysis of their complex structure has been carried out. It has been shown that the spectra of the Ln 4f electrons not participating in chemical bonding are characteristic for different Ln/sup 3 +/ ions. It has been postulated that the structure in the portions of the spectra for the Ln 5p and F 2s electrons is determined by the electrons in inner valence MO's, which are formed mainly from the Ln 5p and F/sub 2/ 2s AO's. The mechanisms for the appearance of the structure of the spectra of the Ln 5s, 4s, 4d, 4p, 3d, and 3p/sub 3/2 electrons and their relationship to the physicochemical properties of LnF/sub 3/ have been discussed. A comparison with the spectra of ScF/sub 3/ and YF/sub 3/ has been made.
